Fig. 17. Coin finds in the graves

The coin finds in the graves, although not perfectly, show the lines of the net of both the religious institutions and the worldly settlements established by the Hungarian state in the 12th century, certainly, along with the net of religious institutions indicating the increasing dominance and institutionalisation of Christianity.

At the end of our analysis, without drawing conclusions, we would like to add some observations:

1. Based on the customs of the population found in the Däbäca-Casf/e Area IV, Sighisoara cemetery, one can suppose a pagan-christian syncretism. The varied concentration of the different burial customs may refer to a heterogeneous community with different mentality, customs and identification.

2. Based on the burial customs, the problem of gender as a social-cultural construction cannot be followed in contrast to the burial customs of the pagan era.
